Raspberry Pi Region Settings

Sorry to hear you received UK specific Raspberry Pi's.

No worries though, we can still make use of them for your internship.

If the Pi came with Raspbian pre-installed, you can run

sudo raspi-config

To set things like locale, language, etc.

We're not 100% on all of the required settings changes.

One we know for sure is:

Wifi Settings

One change you'll need to make if you're using WiFi to connect your Pi to the internet, is to set the correct region for the WiFi antenna.

To do this, enter

sudo raspi-config

to enter the menu-driven program. Use the arrow keys and enter to navigate to

Localisation Options --> Change Wi-fi Country --> US United States --> OK --> Finish.

Regarding Keyboard Layout

If your keyboard has the physical labels for the UK specific keys like £ instead of $, then we would recommend not changing the keyboard layout, as having a different layout than what you actually see might be confusing.
